Strategic Partnership Opportunities

Advancing Norwood Studios Through Qualified Development, Capital, and Community Partnerships

The TTC Trust is seeking strategic relationships with experienced professionals and organizations interested in supporting the responsible advancement of Norwood Studios, a proposed mixed-use redevelopment centered on Parcel 26, an approximately 3.529-acre site along the Norwood Avenue corridor in North Sacramento.

The project is currently in the predevelopment and due diligence phase. Current activities include conceptual site planning, utility and infrastructure coordination, evaluation of the existing storm drain easement, financial feasibility analysis, development incentive review, and assembly of a qualified project team.

The TTC Trust is not currently marketing Parcel 26 as a conventional land sale. The Trust is evaluating partnership structures that may support long-term project feasibility while preserving responsible ownership, project oversight, and alignment with the proposed community-focused vision.

This conceptual rendering illustrates one potential vision for the proposed Norwood Studios mixed-use redevelopment on Parcel 26, an approximately 3.529-acre site in North Sacramento. The preliminary concept includes approximately 60 workforce studio units, four live/work units, a Youth Learning & Tutoring Center, a community safety space, landscaped gathering areas, approximately 64 parking spaces, and evaluation of 3D-printed concrete construction. The existing taco stand is shown as retained within the broader site concept. The images are presented for planning and discussion purposes only. Final building design, unit count, layout, parking, materials, construction methods, financing, engineering, utility coordination, and City approvals remain subject to further due diligence and applicable entitlement processes.
